The Overseas Press Club of America & Microsoft Want to Help You:

GET UP TO SPEED WITH INTERNET JOURNALISM TOOLS!

In a special session for OPC members, The New York Microsoft office is offering a free primer on the latest digital technology for PC users on Monday evening, July 12,

At the session titled, “Digital Tools for Digital Journalists,” Microsoft technology specialists will walk through new technologies for today’s digital journalist or blogger, including note-taking, gathering and editing audio sound bites and blogging with OneNote 2010, and lightweight photo and video editing tools with Windows Live Essentials.

For the experienced digital journalist wanting a sneak peek at these new tools or a traditional journalist seeking to make the jump online, this session will be equal parts interactive and educational.

The session is open to 20 OPC members and will take place at the Microsoft Technology Center in Midtown – 5th floor of 1290 Avenue of the Americas (between 51st and 52nd Streets).

The session will run from 6 to 7:30 p.m.; cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and time for questions 7:30 to 8:30 pm.
